DURHAM, NC- The official statistician of the Can-Am League, Pointstreak, has announced that Rockland Boulders OF Joe Maloney (pictured) has been named this week’s Pointstreak Player of the Week for the week ending August 6.

Maloney’s bat began to heat up on Wednesday, when he went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, three RBI and three runs scored in a 5-4 win in the series finale against the Capitales. Rockland returned home on Thursday, when they welcomed the Ottawa Champions to Palisades Credit Union Park to begin a four-game series. Maloney went 2-for-4 in the opener, hitting a solo home run and a double in a 7-5 win. He was 1-for-3 with a double in a 3-2 win on Friday, and Rockland took the series with a 23-4 thrashing on Saturday night. In the dominating performance, Maloney was 1-for-4 with a grand slam and three runs scored, as he also walked and was hit by a pitch. Rockland completed a sweep with a 7-4 win Sunday. Maloney picked up a double and a home run in the win.

On the season, Maloney is hitting .304 with 23 doubles, 25 home runs and 78 RBI.
